Non-uniqueness conjecture for s-deep Zero Linear Recurrence Sequences

Let {Gn}n=1\{G_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty} be an ss-deep Zero Linear Recurrence Sequence such that cs+1>sc_{s+1}>s.

Non-uniqueness conjecture. Uniqueness of decomposition is lost for at least one positive integer NN.

This conjecture concerns when legal decompositions associated with homogeneous linear recurrences fail to be unique. The paper presents it as an empirical conjecture alongside a theorem proving the same conclusion under the additional hypotheses cs+2>0c_{s+2}>0 and cL>1c_L>1; the stated conjecture remains open in the supplied text.
